Heralded Emission Detection in Quantum Dot Solids under Twin-Photon Excitation
Harnessing quantum correlations between photons is an emerging direction in optical spectroscopy, but experimental progress has thus far been limited to fluorescence-detected studies of molecular systems at room temperature. Here, we demonstrate heralded emission detection (HED) under continuous-wave (CW) entangled-photon excitation of near-infrared (NIR)-emitting colloidal III-V quantum dots (QDs) at low temperatures. We use superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) and large-a…

Wait—let me start over.

Congratulations to Akhil Thomas for his succesful PhD defense today in Freiburg with a thesis on Data-driven analysis of microstructure-sensitive fatigue damage initiation! 🎉🥂🙌

MillStone: How Open-Minded Are LLMs?
Large language models equipped with Web search, information retrieval tools, and other agentic capabilities are beginning to supplant traditional search engines. As users start to rely on LLMs for information on many topics, including controversial and debatable issues, it is important to understand how the stances and opinions expressed in LLM outputs are influenced by the documents they use as their information sources. In this paper, we present MillStone, the first benchmark that aims to s…

Cancellative Convex Semilattices
Convex semilattices are algebras that are at the same time a convex algebra and a semilattice, together with a distributivity axiom. These algebras have attracted some attention in the last years as suitable algebras for probability and nondeterminism, in particular by being the Eilenberg-Moore algebras of the nonempty finitely-generated convex subsets of the distributions monad. A convex semilattice is cancellative if the underlying convex algebra is cancellative. Cancellative convex algebra…
